Ezekiel 36

1 Men du menneskesøn, profeter om Israels bjerge og sig: Israels bjerge, hør Herrens ord.

And thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah.

2 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Fjenden sagde om eder: "Ha! Ørkener for stedse! De er blevet vor Ejendom!"

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are become ours in possession;

3 derfor skal du profetere og sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi man har higet og snappet efter eder fra alle Sider, for at I skulde tilfalde Resten af Folkene som Ejendom, og fordi I er kommet i Folkemunde,

therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because, yea, because they have made [you] desolate, and have swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the remnant of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and in the defaming of the people:

4 derfor, Israels Bjerge, hør HERRENs Ord: Så siger den Herre HERREN til Bjergene, Højene, kløfterne og Dalene, til de øde Tomter og de forladte Byer, som er blevet til Rov og til Spot for Resten af Folkene rundt om,

therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and a derision to the remnant of the nations that are round about,

5 derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Sandelig, i brændende Nidkærhed vil jeg tale mod Resten af Folkene og mod hele Edom, som med al Hjertets Glæde og Sjælens Ringeagt udså sig mit Land til Ejendom for at drive indbyggerne bort og gøre det til Rov.

— therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the remnant of the nations, and against the whole of Edom, which have appointed my land unto themselves for a possession with the joy of all [their] heart, with despite of soul, to plunder it by pillage.

6 Profeter derfor om Israels Land og sig til Bjergene, Højene, Kløfteme og Dalene: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg faler i Nidkærhed og Harme, fordi I bærer Folkenes Hån.

Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the ignominy of the nations;

7 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg løfter min Hånd og sværger: Sandelig, Folkene rundt om eder skal selv bære deres Hån.

therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I have lifted up my hand, [saying, ] Verily the nations that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

8 Og I, Israels Bjerge, skal skyde Grene og bære Frugt for mit Folk Israel, thi de skal snart komme hjem.

And ye mountains of Israel shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel: for they are at hand to come.

9 Thi se, jeg kommer og vender mig til eder, og I skal dyrkes og tilsås;

For behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown.

10 jeg gør Mennesker, alt Israels Hus, mangfoldige på eder, Byerne skal bebos og Ruinerne genopbygges;

And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, the whole of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded.

11 jeg gør Mennesker og Dyr mangfoldige på eder, ja de skal blive mangfoldige og frugtbare; jeg lader eder bebos som i fordums Tider og gør det bedre for eder end i Fortiden; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And I will multiply upon you man and beast, and they shall increase and bring forth fruit; and I will cause you to be inhabited as [in] your former times, yea, I will make it better than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

12 Jeg lader Mennesker, mit Folk Israel, færdes på eder; de skal tage dig i Eje, og du skal være deres Arvelod og ikke mere gøre dem barnløse.

And I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of children.

13 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi de siger til dig: "Du er en Menneskeæder, som gør dit Folk barnløst!"

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because they say unto you, Thou devourest men, and hast bereaved thy nation,

14 derfor skal du ikke mere æde Mennesker eller gøre dit Folk barnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nation any more, saith the Lord Jehovah;

15 Og jeg lader dig ikke mere høre Folkenes Hån, og du skal ikke mere bære Folkeslagenes Spot eller gøre dit Folk harnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

neither will I cause thee to hear the ignominy of the nations any more, and thou shalt not bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nation to fall any more, saith the Lord Jehovah.

16 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

17 Menneskesøn! Da Israels Slægt boedei deres Land, gjorde de det urent ved deres Færd og Gerninger; som en Kvindes renhed var deres Færd for mit Åsyn.

Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a woman in her separation.

18 Så udøste jeg min Vrede over dem for det Blods Skyld, de udgød i Landet, og fordi de gjorde det urent med deres Afgudsbilleder.

And I poured out my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.

19 Jeg spredte dem blandt Folkene, og de strøedes ud i Landene; efter deres Færd og Gerninger dømte jeg dem.

And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

20 Således kom de til Folkene: hvor de kom hen, vanærede de mit hellige Navn, idet man sagde om dem: "De der er HERRENs Folk, og dog måtte de ud af hans Land!"

And when they came to the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and they are gone forth out of his land.

21 Da ynkedes jeg over mit hellige Navn, som Israels Hus vanærede blandt de Folk, de kom til.

But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations whither they went.

22 Sig derfor til Israels Hus: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Det er ikke for eders Skyld, jeg griber ind, Israels Hus, men for mit hellige Navns Skyld, som I har vanæret blandt de Folk, I kom til.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations whither ye went.

23 Jeg vil hellige mit store Navn, som vanæres blandt Folkene, idet I har vanæret det iblandt dem; og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, når jeg helliger mig på eder for deres Øjne.

And I will hallow my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I [am] Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I shall be hallowed in you before their eyes.

24 Jeg vil hente eder fra Folkene, samle eder fra alle Lande og bringe eder til eders Land.

And I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Da stænker jeg rent Vand på eder, så I bliver rene; jeg renser eder for al eders Urenhed og alle eders Afgudsbilleder.

And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your uncleannesses and from all your idols will I cleanse you.

26 Jeg giver eder et nyt Hjerte, og en ny Ånd giver jeg i eders Indre; Stenhjertet tager jeg ud af eders Kød og giver eder et Kødhjerte.

And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

27 Jeg giver min Ånd i eders Indre og virker, at I følger mine Vedtægter og tager Vare på at holde mine Lovbud,

And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and keep mine ordinances, and ye shall do them.

28 I skal bo i det Land, jeg gav eders Fædre, og I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.

And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29 Jeg frelser eder fra al eders Urenbed; jeg kalder Kornet frem og mangfoldiggør det og sender ikke mere Hungersnød over eder.

And I will save you from all your uncleannesses; and I will call for the corn and will multiply it, and lay no famine upon you.

30 Jeg mangfoldiggør Træernes Frugter og Markens Afgrøde, for at I ikke mere skal tage en Hungersnøds Skændsel på eder blandt Folkene.

And I will multiply the fruit of the trees and the increase of the field, so that ye may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

31 Da skal I ihukomme eders onde Veje og eders Gerninger, som ikke var gode, og ledes ved eder selv over eders Misgerninger og Vederstyggeligheder.

And ye shall remember your evil ways, and your doings which were not good, and shall loathe yourselves for your iniquities and for your abominations.

32 Ikke for eders Skyld griber jeg ind, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, det være eder kundgjort! Skam jer og blues over eders Veje, Israels Hus!

Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord Jehovah, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

33 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Den Dag jeg renser eder for alle eders Misgerninger, lader jeg Byerne bebos, og Ruinerne skal genopbygges;

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded.

34 det ødelagte Land skal dyrkes, i Stedet for at det har været en Ødemark for alles Øjne, som kom forbi.

And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by.

35 Da skal man sige: "Dette Land, som var ødelagt, er blevet som Edens Have, og Byerne, som var omstyrtet, ødelagt og nedrevet, er befæstet og beboet."

And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities [are] fortified [and] inhabited.

36 Og Folkene, der er tilhage rundt om eder, skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har opbygget de nedrevne Byer og tilplantet det ødelagte Land; jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.

And the nations that shall be left round about you shall know that I Jehovah build the ruined places [and] plant that which was desolate: I Jehovah have spoken, and I will do [it].

37 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Også dette vil jeg gøre for Israels Hus på deres Bøn: Jeg vil gøre dem mangfoldige som en Hjord af Mennesker;

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it unto them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

38 som en Hjord af Offerdyr, som Jerusalems Fårehjorde på dets Højtider skal de omstyrtede Byer blive fulde af Menneskehjorde; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her set feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
